Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesSmelled of fresh paint in the entrance, though not in the main rooms. Much still looks under construction, especially in the kitchen, and the second bedroom needs a socket near the bed.
Wonderful night here! Spacious, clean, comfortable beds, nice view, excellent shower and WiFi, and a memorable breakfast overlooking the glacier, with waffles, fresh bread, ham, cheese, fruit, and a Gevalia coffee machine.

India- The window needs to remain closed at all times due to tiny flies that bite. As a result the room gets warm at night which is uncomfortable. The property has no portable fans. - The property has no housekeeping service but that's not a problem as long as one is made aware of it - The property has ongoing construction on site
- Location was fabulous - Breakfast was good - Staff was polite and helpful

CanadaTakes a little time to get use to the fresh paint smell, it's understandable as the suite has just been renovated. Thank you for a great stay.
We stayed in a newly renovated family room on June 30th, extremely clean rooms, heated bathroom flooring, a kitchenette and very comfortable beds. Communication with their staff was excellent. The staff open the hot tub early in the morning for my family to enjoy before check out. Much appreciated. We had a quiet and restful stay. Absolutely we would like to stay here again.

GermanyVery nice and new renovated house with a breakfast room with a beautiful view of the glacier. Very nice and friendly staff. The house was very clean and the area very quiet. As guests you can use the nearby hot tubs for free and that was a very good and relaxing experience. I loved the fresh made waffles at the breakfast. The guesthouse offers a common area like a living room with portraits of the first owners and stones and things they found over the years in glacier area. Very interesting and informative. We enjoyed our stay there.

South AfricaWe could not open the window due to midges, so it was quite hot, even though it was below 10 degrees outside. Not sure why a mesh is not simply fitted to the window, as it must be a constant problem for everyone.
Very nice location - quiet but only 15min from Hofn. Hot tubs close by, included in price. The best part is the close location to a beautiful glacier lake - 4km. We went after breakfast, and there was only one other car. Room was very clean, and the surroundings are very pretty. Comfortable beds, nice shower. Nice continental breakfast with fresh waffles. Friendly reception.

United StatesAs I’m an early riser, I would have appreciated the breakfast/lounge area being open early to grab a cup of coffee, read, and enjoy the view.
A beautiful setting. It’s obviously still being developed with a spa and (apparently) some additional lodging under construction. But the VIEW! The breakfast was perfect for starting our day

United KingdomNone of the TVs worked on the premises or in the rooms. Not being able to access the snack bar/cafe outside reception hours was a bit annoying. Especially in poor weather when having a bit more space to spread out in would have been nice.
The situation of the hotel was very spectacular with amazing glacier views. The room was spacious, clean and cosy, with very comfortable beds. The breakfast was a standard continental buffet, but the fresh waffels were a nice addition. The hot tubs were great!
